Memorial Day Weekend

Uncle Al and Auntie Crystal came to visit us for the weekend. We were going to go the zoo but it was way to busy for Lowell so we went to the State Park instead.

Jordan and the Mirror

Jordan loved the full length mirror in our hotel in Davis, California.

He is Crawling!

Our Naughty Dog!

Here is our naughty dog. We have been going for walks around a lake/pond by our house. The other day there was a Goose parading on the sidewalk and we thought it would be fun if Ryker would chase him into the water. So, we unclipped his leash and away he went. The goose of course got scared and took off to the water where he was safe. Well today the Goose was back. Ryker was doing so well off the leash until he decided to chase him into the water and then he kept on going. I am sure he would have tried to catch that Goose all day if I would have let him. PS: the reason he was being naughty was because he would not get out of the lake or listen to me.

Our Little Army Crawler!

Jordan has crawled a few feet now, but every time I get the camera out he goes right back to his army crawling. I am not sure if he is being lazy or what. He does like to chase the dog around and he goes into high speed when he sees the dogs water dish.

A few photos from Easter

First Easter Bunny

Grandpa and Grandma Karen gave Jordan his first Easter Bunny. He really liked his first taste of chocolate.

Tractor Time!

I was not sure if Jordan was ready to play with his tractor yet but he really seemed to get the hang of it.

Today's Storm

Our evening started out with us under the stairs again. I will tell you that it is getting pretty cramped down there with two chairs, a baby (baby supplies) and a dog. The warning sirens went off twice tonight. Luckily, we had no damage. He had about nickel sized hail and a ton of rain. There were tornadoes that touched down in the area though. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come, did I mention that we live in the tallest house and we are on top of a hill. I know the Tornadoes can see us from miles away.

Ejoying the Weather on the Deck for St. Patricks Day!

Grandma Mary and Papa's Visit

Playing at the Park!

Today it was nearly 60 degrees! Yea! We were so excited to get out of the house and play at the park. We took Ryker with us so he could get some exercise too!

You can see his tooth and he has one coming in right next to it!

Bath Time!

Bath time is more fun now that Jordan can sit up pretty good on his own. He is playing with little duckies that light up!

Minneapolis Our Winter Get-A-Way!

We made it to Minneapolis at about 2pm on Valentine's Day due to the fact the Jordan didn't sleep well the night before. We stayed in a very nice hotel on the 18th Floor. We went to Ikea and the Mall of America. We got to go swimming at our hotel. The hot tub was broken but the pool was extra warm. Jordan loved swimming.

Jordan's 6mo Photos

He has one tooth that is almost in and another one on the way. That is why he has such a goofy smile.

Sitting Up by Himself

Jordan sat by himself for just a few minutes. I cannot believe how fast he is growing. He is getting to be such a big and independent boy. He now weighs 17lbs and is 27 in long.

UNO Mavericks Hockey Game!

Friday night we went to the UNO's Mavericks Hockey game. It was so fun. We had free tickets and went with Tony,Crystal, and Clarke. We sat in the middle of the big time fans so they were going wild. The Mavericks weren't playing too well and would not take any shots. at the goal. They didn't even score until the last 8 minutes of the game and then scored two goals to tie it. That put them into overtime and then into a shoot out. Mavericks won! Jordan had his six month shots earlier in the day so he was ready to go home by games end. He did not sleep well last night. He screamed, from the pain, once every hour (even with Tylenol). Poor guy!

Jordan Playing with Grandma Mary and Papa

Jordan Playing on his New Entertainer

This was a craigslist find ~ only $10. Hopefully it is going to find a home at Nana's or Grandma Mary's house. He seemed to enjoy it today so I may want to keep it here.

Here is what happens when you have a child~Your mind starts to go. I went grocery shopping today and paid for the groceries and headed to Subway. After Subway, I was going to look for something I purchased and realized that I didn't have the groceries. Luckily the cashier kept them for me. So crazy!! I wonder what the lady behind me thought...

Today's Weather

This is our neighbors out our back door. The mall closed at 5 but Younkers sayed open until 6 just because they love paying us. I was supposed to work until 6:30 so I was happy to go home a little early. It took me about 45 min to get home.

Happy New Year!

Jordan and Papa and his new Tractor Book.

Thanks Uncle Al and Auntie Crystal!

What a nice looking bunch!

Santa on Uncle John's lap good thing it isn't the other way around!

Jordan and Grandpa in his Tigger Outfit

I cannot believe it is 2009 already. Where did the last year go? We had a busy holiday season this year. We tried to do it all, see it all and do so while still smiling. Jordan really enjoyed his first Christmas. He attemped to open his own gifts. He is going to be spoiled I am afraid.
